Hi,
I just checked in a major rewrite of the user agent processing model that
should make it much more clear what exactly needs to happen:
http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/waf/access-control/Overview.html?content-type=text/html;%20charset=utf-8
Outstanding issues:
* What happens when the XML is not well-formed and how does this
interact with incremental parsing.
* Need to define request URL (scheme, domain, port) and where it
comes from.
* Update the match algorithm to deal with a request URL that
contains a domain with a "." at the end.
* Define XML MIME type.
* Make it more clear that it's very important that user agents
follow the algorithm exactly as given.
* Fix the introduction and authoring requirements.
* Include some examples for "deny".
* Reply to some comments.
Hope to address the simpler ones tomorrow. Especially XML that's not
well-formed is problematic.
Cheers,
